Ditto... great tank! what is your lighting????
 
It is Fiji Live Rock. The markers say fiberglass reinforced. at first I dried out the rock used aqua putty stuff and it held together good so the I put some salt water for a few months to cure it. When I pulled the rock from the water the putty didn't hold well and I was disappointed so I was reading on the threads and found a guy that did it that was so off to depot I went. It drilled threw the rock almost like butter.

What got me to do it was this thread with the bonsai rock work and I liked it so much I had to try it my self I'm very happy with it yesterday I change my substrate from live sand to crushed coral and got rid of a yellow head gobi that made a mess out of my sand and corals now the water is crystal clear. I will get some pictures up soon.

I will try this out soon, I also got a yellow headed goby to keep my sand clean, which he did but the the same thing happened. I am pretty sure now that the reason my sand gets brown diatomic algae growth is due to lack of water flow.

This is a couple of years old. After seeing these tanks I need to open up my aquascaping. The hammer coral in the left of the tank has gotten to be over 15 inches across and I banged it a few times. When I did a water change on the weekend I removed so much water the hammer split in half. I am going to start fragging a lot of oversized corals and make room for a new scape. When I scaped this tank several years ago there were lots of big holes everywhere but the corals have grown so much they fill in all the holes now.
